Chapter 51
"No, no, no, sir," Jiang Mingshun was so frightened that he quickly stepped back and waved his hand, "He is not dead."

The soldier looked at him suspiciously: "Then you attempted murder?"

"I didn't want to kill him." Jiang Mingshun slapped his thigh and retorted with an innocent expression.

He was a farmer, and his legs felt weak when he saw the police.

Currently surrounded by more than a dozen tall soldiers, all of whom had knives on their waists, Jiang Mingshun's mind was blank at the moment, but he couldn't say anything when he spoke, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Jiang Jinyu watched secretly anxious.

"My lord." She took two steps forward and stood in front of the soldier captain.

Seeing the captain's eyes falling on her, the regulations clearly explained what happened tonight in detail from beginning to end.

"Who are you?" The captain raised his eyebrows and asked playfully.

"This is my daughter," Jiang Mingshun quickly pulled Jiang Jinyu behind him and explained, "She was with me just now."

"Okay," the captain nodded and waved to the soldiers behind him: "Half of us will stay and continue the investigation, and the other half will follow me back to the county government office."

After saying that, he turned around and continued towards Jiang Ming: "You also drove the mule cart and went to the county government office with me."

"Sir," Jiang Mingshun said hesitantly: "I wonder if I can invite a doctor to go with me?"

"What?" The captain thought he was softened by the trafficker's sadness, and mocked: "He wants to kill you, but you still want to save him?"

Jiang Mingshun didn't answer, but pointed toward the car again: "There are three children inside, and I don't know what the situation is now."

The captain looked at the children lying motionless in the carriage, and finally ordered the soldiers around him to call the doctor.

As early as when the news of the traffickers was reported to the county government, County Magistrate Jiang arranged for government officials to go along the streets to inform the people in the city and warn them not to come out.

They had just experienced a disaster, and many people who came out to watch the excitement were frightened. They managed to escape with great difficulty. How could they dare to run out again in such a short period of time?

What's more, if there is a trafficker incident, no one dares to go out again.

Jiang Mingshun followed the captain from the city gate to the county government office, but met no one on the way.

Soldiers had already arrived on horseback to report the news, so when several people arrived, Magistrate Jiang was already guarding the door.

"Sir," Jiang Mingshun knelt down as soon as he saw the extraordinary-looking man in official robes.

Alas, Jiang Jinyu had no choice but to kneel down with her father, thinking angrily that this is the only bad thing about this life.

Ordinary people are like dust on the ground in the eyes of scholars.

Obviously they caught the trafficker and would be handed out a banner in future generations, but here they still have to kneel!
"Get up," County Magistrate Jiang called hurriedly, turned around and walked inside: "Take the prisoner in with me, and send the child and the doctor to the backyard."

Not going to court?Jiang Jinyu lowered her head and followed her father, her peripheral vision drifting to both sides, and the further she walked, the more she felt something was wrong.

Mr. Jiang took the lead and walked through the garden towards a room, finally stopping at the door.

He turned around and said to everyone: "You all stay outside."

"Xue He, you and this..." Magistrate Jiang looked at Jiang Mingshun.

Jiang Mingshun hurriedly bent forward and said, "The villain's name is Jiang Mingshun."

Magistrate Jiang nodded: "You two come in with the prisoner."

Captain Xue and Jiang Mingshun lifted up the unconscious man and followed Magistrate Jiang into the house.

Looking around, Jiang Jinyu slipped in after seeing that no one was paying attention to him.

There were other people in the room.

"Master Jiang," someone came to greet them as soon as they entered the door. The woman's voice was urgent: "But have you found my son?"

Jiang Jinyu followed the sound and saw a middle-aged woman who was elegantly dressed but looked haggard.It is Mrs. Xi of Qi Mansion.

Mr. Jiang comforted him and said, "Second sister, we have just found three children."

"It's just that the situation is not good now. We can only bring him in after the doctor has seen it. Why don't you ask this man, he was the one who caught this trafficker."

Magistrate Jiang moved a step aside so that Mrs. Xi could see Jiang Mingshun behind him.

Jiang Mingshun, who originally thought he was going to court, looked at the scene in front of him blankly, not knowing what he should do now.

Mrs. Xi's eyes turned red when she heard County Magistrate Jiang say that the condition of the children was not good. She looked at Jiang Mingshun, who didn't know the situation, and asked with a choked voice: "Brother, are there any ten children among the children you rescued?" A one- or two-year-old boy?”

"About this high." She stretched out her hand in front of herself to measure the height.

Jiang Mingshun guessed that she might have lost her child. After thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head sincerely.

"I don't know how tall those children are," he said with a confused look on his face: "They didn't wake up, and I carried them into the car."

Looking at Mrs. Xi's pale face, Jiang Mingshun affirmed: "But I can guarantee that there are no teenage children there. The oldest is only seven or eight years old, and she is still a little girl."

"Are you sure?" Mrs. Xi didn't know whether she should be happy or worried.

Jiang Mingshun nodded: "If the child is really as tall as Madam just said, then he is definitely not the children I brought back."

He thought to himself, did this lady really remember it correctly?Isn't it true that what she was gesturing at was the height that only a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy could achieve?
"Okay, second sister, don't worry," another lady in fine clothes who had been waiting next to her hugged Madam Xi and comforted her: "Since the trafficker has been caught, I will be able to find Yan Heng soon. coming."

As she spoke, she glanced at Magistrate Jiang.

"Yes, second sister, don't worry," County Magistrate Jiang received his wife's look and quickly promised, "I will definitely find Yan Heng back."

Mrs. Xi leaned in the arms of her sister, Mrs. Xiao Xi, and nodded tiredly.

Upon seeing this, County Magistrate Jiang told the two to take a good rest, and he planned to take Jiang Mingshun and the trafficker to the court for trial.

Before the door opened, there was a rapid knock on the door.

A boy immediately stepped forward and opened the door, and people from outside rushed in crawling.

"Master," he was also wearing the clothes of a young servant of the Jiang family, panting and kneeling on the ground: "Master, the young master cousin is back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone interrupted him.

"Who are you talking about?" Mrs. Xi pushed the person in front of her and stared at the young man closely: "Which young master are you talking about?"

The boy replied loudly: "It's the young cousin who disappeared last night! He's waiting in the court now!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xi immediately stood up and walked out. Her movements were so fast that she was completely unlike a pampered middle-aged lady.

Magistrate Jiang quickly called on others to follow him.

Jiang Jinyu cried out to Lian Tiandi and trotted behind him.

The magistrate's office is behind the county government office, with a large courtyard in the middle. There are all kinds of flowers, plants, trees, and strange rocks and rockeries. If she could come in normally, Jiang Jinyu thought she would definitely appreciate it.

But right now, she was already tired and had to keep up with a group of adults, so she really couldn't focus on anything else.

Although she tried her best to move her short legs, Jiang Jinyu was still pulled at the end together with her father.

Even the half-dead human trafficker was carried by the magistrate's servants and walked in front of her.

Jiang Jinyu walked mechanically, thinking wildly in her mind. She wonders if she will go back and hide in the magistrate's house. Will anyone be able to find her?

Until the noise of the crowd in front reached her ears.
